[Asterisk-Users] Audio Drops out at Random - one way

[Craig Waddington]

I found this:

http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2003-May/000764.html

But it is old, and I am sure lots of changes have been made to the
source, since then.

Where and how do you set absolutetimeout=0, would this help?

A test I want to perform is, we make a call, and say nothing for 20
seconds, and see if that's why the audio stream is being dropped. ???

What I am doing currently is running debug IAX2 when users make a call,
to try pinpoint the issue, but I don't know what I am looking for in the
output.

Are you using Cisco Phones? If so, what firmware, that is the only
common thing at my end.

This install worked fine for months, the audio issue has just started
occurring.

The quality is perfect, except this loss of Audio for a few seconds.

Is your problem purely outgoing?

I have a similar problem with my IAX connection to my termination 
provider.. No one seems to be able to help and I have replaced or 
reinstalled just about every component in the chain except the internet 
itself and the termination provider..

Have updated Asterisk to 1.0.2, have added a switch to my network (was 
using a hub), have changes to a different firewall, have setup port 
mapping through the NAT, have tried different DSL routers and put in a 
high quality microfilter..

So the only things I think it can be are a) my termination provider (but

they service many people and I am sure others would have brought it up 
if it was a problem), b) Asterisk itself or c) my DSL line or ISP..

Unfortunately these are all hard to check and the debug logging on 
Asterisk didn't help much when I tried looking at it..

I know this doesn't help much but if you come up with anything please 
let me know.. Its driving us crazy having calls drop on us especially 
when talking to customers..

Later..
